Jill Elaine McLane unexpectedly lost her battle with mast cell disease on July 20, 2022. She passed away at her home in Hood River, Oregon with her daughter Morgan by her side.
Jill was born in Kennewick Washington, Aug. 28, 1976, to Edward and Phyllis McLane and was raised on their family farm outside of Othello surrounded by three brothers Jay, Brian and Michael; several cousins Len, Kathy, Sandy, Mary, Tyson and Johnathon; her aunt and uncle Dianne and Melvin and her grandparents Minnie and Walter.
She lived the typical Eastern Washington farm life, operating and servicing equipment, riding motorcycles, and spending time with the farm stock.
She attended Basin City Elementary School, before being enrolled at Sky View, a home school co-op where she met facilitator and floral shop owner Linda Robins, who would mentor her as a florist. A passion for flowers followed her, often seen in her yard and garden, and helping around Tammy’s Floral in Hood River.
She was a cancer survivor and became a strong advocate for medical care while working at Mid-Columbia Medical Center, making new friends and expanding her knowledge of the medical profession.
Jill is survived by her daughter Morgan Andrews, her parents Edward and Phyllis McLane and her brothers Jay and Michael McLane.
A celebration of life will be held at the home of Edward and Phyllis McLane located on Pheasant Drive on Sept. 22 from 2 to 5 p.m.
In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made in the memory of Jill to Hood River Alpine Veterinary Clinic at 541-386-6658 for the continued medical care of her dog Lucy.
